My name is Tristen. I love drawing animals and vehicles. In this drawing I used a lot of green, my favorite color, to make a father and son chameleon.

Hi my name is Karsyn. I was inspired to make this piece because on a hot summer day one of my favorite things to do is eat a nice cold juicy watermelon slice. My art piece makes me feel good, cool, and relaxed.

I love foxes and their way of whimsy. I like watercolors the best for a media of art! I thought that a fox in its natural habitat and sleeping would be an adorable and creative piece to enter! Foxes are the best.

I was inspired by The Smiths and Morissey in particular with his yellow daffodils.

I love science and animals living in the ocean. So, I drew this shark drone. It is very powerful and scary. I name it the "Scary Monster".

I was inspired by survival in the wild. In my painting, a girl and her cat are camping in the wilderness. There are many different trees and plants around them, and many shades of green that make the forest look full of life. In the middle of the picture, there is a warm campfire lighting up the girl. She is fishing by the river with her cat beside her. You can see their reflections in the water. Far away in the wilderness, there is a rainbow that you can faintly see in the sky.

I am in third grade and I am writing a comic book called Woodland Walkers: Beginning of the Walkers. My drawing has the characters of my book. I love nature and the color purple. I love animals, especially foxes and wolves. My drawing makes me feel excited and calm and it makes me want to call a pack of wolves!

I grew up watching Studio Ghibli's movies and Spirited Away is my favorite. This is a joyful moment when Chihiro and Haku find each other after a long journey and it's my favorite scene.

2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar. Both my grandpas, from my dad’s side and my mom’s side, were born in the Year of the Horse. I like horses because they are cool and strong. I drew a horse’s head for the Year of the Horse and used my imagination to make it special. I felt very happy while making this artwork. I hope people smile when they see my horse.

Howdy, I'm Savannah, and I made it! Whoo hoo! Anyways, why this inspired me was because I adore books, dragons, and playing the keyboard. Each one inspires me greatly, so why not put all of them together? This is Daydream Mirage, and maybe one day it won't be so much of a mirage.

I'm Kyla, an artist who loves creating characters and diving deep into their stories. The character featured here is one that I love very much, named Lieke. I wanted this drawing to evoke a feeling you have when you're on vacation, strolling the beach at sunset. It may feel melancholy; the setting sun bringing you ever closer to the end of fun times, but it's a beautiful sight that brings you joy nevertheless.

Hi my name is Shareef. I really love to draw because I get to change whatever I want, however I want. My brother was drawing an axe and that inspired me to draw one. And I’m proud of my drawing.

Hi, my name is Tatiana. I made this painting for my brother who is about to graduate high school. A big part of our summers is a sailing camp on the Neuse River. I made it in hopes it would remind him of our time together when he went away to college.

This piece is a drawing of an eye with only the iris colored to symbolize how if we look into ourselves, we all have our own “super powers.” This concept inspires me as a person because it helps remind ourselves to never give up and that we all have a purpose on living whether you know it or not.

So I made this because I had just started an art class so we did it together in the class but I was scared I would mess up and I did several times but I fixed it and now it looks amazing and I'm very proud of myself for doing so<3

I love horses. We have a horse and 3 donkeys. I love spending time with them- feeding, petting, riding, brushing, but not cleaning up after them. I love to draw all types of horses and this is an Appaloosa.

I love to draw people and animals. I make my own books inspired by my favorite characters and some I create myself. I love people of all colors. We can all be friends.

I am inspired by the ocean waves and the moonlight.

I enjoy drawing graphite sketches. The reason I chose bloodhound is because they are one of my favorite breeds of dogs. I really enjoy this drawing and I tried to capture as much emotion as possible.

I really like nature. We have bird feeders and cardinals go to it all the time. They inspired my drawing. I am very proud of my cardinal drawing and I think it's my best drawing.

My name is Anabelle and I love to draw! My picture is from an assignment inspired by garden snails! It makes me feel super duper happy!

I'm a reader. I love dogs, so I wanted to draw one for this contest. My piece was inspired by one of my dogs named Spotty. My drawing makes me feel happy because dogs are really special to me.

Minty has been my OC for a long time, but now that I'm older I decided to give her a redesign to match her energy. She mirrors me in a lot of ways (style, personality, etc.). She's playful, energetic, and loves tacos.

My name is Sofia and I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I've learned lots of different drawing techniques through Outschool. I decided to make this piece because I really like the anime art style. It makes me feel happy!

My name is Charlotte and I love drawing animals. This drawing makes me feel good and I am proud of it. What inspires me is mostly nature and animals like big trees, cute foxes, and sometimes my pets. Another thing that inspires me is books! I LOVE reading and they really help give me ideas for drawings. One more thing that inspires me is other drawings and paintings.

I love art. And the thing that inspired me is anime and dogs. And it makes me feel proud of myself.

I made this art piece to show the coming of spring. I wanted to show how wonderful spring is, so I made this painting to show how a girl is going on a picnic because the weather is so nice. Spring is all about life blooming. Just like this art piece. Thank you!

Yes, I got pooped on by a bald eagle. It was an experience. And, I have this picture in my room to always remind me of it. It reminds me of how good, or bad, luck I got. I think it's bad, personally, but many others think it's good. I don't know, very weird story.

inspired by my friend

"You can always achieve your goals if you make effort to try (because my piece shows a woman walking through a field to her goals)."

Hello, my name is Aisha. The artwork I made was created digitally and was inspired by gardens full of flowers and lakes. The scenery is supposed to be very calm and cheerful; however, the focus is also on the marionette. Her expression is very tense, and she seems scared despite her surroundings. This is to create a mood of discomfort, since the scenery is deceptive, because despite how serene the area is, she seems fearful. It makes the viewer inquire why she has a troubled expression.

This is what happened when I found a passion for Amigurumi! I started crocheting six months ago after my friends on Outschool introduced it to me! I just love making my stuffies and giving them to people! This craft has really made me happy and I love it.

My name is Coralie and my family has a bird feeder. We like watching birds and so does our cat, so I asked them for their favourite birds and painted them. ( I didn't ask our cat).

I love to do art and I love playing outside, especially around flowers. What inspired this piece is how butterflies’ wings shimmer in the sunlight, which is why I wanted to create this. It makes me feel really excited, and when I’m feeling down, it helps me feel happy. The purple flowers have bowtie leaves because I was feeling silly, fun, and happy when I made it.

Im 13 years old, and I have been painting on canvas since I was 9 years old. I homeschool here in Australia, I live on a farm and love all animals,especially my horses. I love how goats can be inquisitive and get up to lots of mischief.

I love art and have been studying it since preschool. I spend much of my free time at art classes or drawing in my sketchbook. This art was inspired by the snow we had this year and my love for nature especially highland cows. I hope to be an artist when I grow up.

I love to be creative. I love to draw. If I could draw and watercolor I would! its my life :) I enjoy my weekly Watercolor class.

When Marnie was there is a Studio Ghibli movie you can find on HBOmax. I like Marnie because she's really pretty and fun to draw.

I made this because I lived in a city for 8 years and I loved it. The lights, the sounds, everything. It makes me feel at peace because I remember looking out the windows and hearing the honking of the horns, seeing the lights, and being up in a tall building being able to see everything below. And all of that, to me was very peaceful and calming.

knights are super cool and i love how the armor looks

Hi! I’m Benson. I enjoy making flip books. This is one of the first pieces I made featuring a running man.

The main inspiration behind this was mother nature. I made this in my art class with paper, markers and a little imagination. This art piece is like nature. Her beauty is like a mushroom, she is bound to die, but she will always survive in the darkest of times. Nature is all around us. It's stunning and is like no other. I hope you will look at a mushroom and see how amazing, delightful and misunderstood it is! And remember, even in the darkest night, you can find the light.

Hi, My name is Aubrey. I love drawing and my favorite color is red. What inspires me is all the fascinating stuff nature can do and how it makes me feel. I live where there are 4 seasons and I love that I can experience them all.

I'm in 2nd grade and I love pandas. I created this watercolor painting in an Outschool art class. It makes me feel happy and creative. When I made it I wanted to visit Niagara Falls.

I'm Luka, a great painter and my best artwork is painting by making splashes of colors together. The cracks and waves of this painting makes me feel like I'm looking at the water. My favorite type of art is abstract, and this is one of my favorite and best abstract paintings.

I’m Hailey and what inspired me to draw this picture was Stray Kids,because I love their music and I just think that they are amazing.💖

My name is Wylder. I want to be a marine biologist and an artist when I grow up, so I like to make artwork of the ocean. I believe that we need to raise awareness about the ocean and its threats and art can do that. In Ocean Sunset I wanted to capture the vivid colors of a sunset and provoke feelings of harmony with nature.

My name is Parker (they/them)! I'm an artist who loves cats! Here is some artwork of my "Warriors" original character, named Snapnose (left). This is the kitty I draw the most! He takes after my real life cat, Catisse (right). For Snapnose, I went for a more realistic style, with larger eyes and almost human-ish eyebrows. For Catisse, I went less sketchy and more cat-like. The somewhat realistic style is very good for my art, and I am very proud of it. Hope you enjoy it!

I have always enjoyed drawing, and foxes are one of my favorite animals. Foxes have always made me feel calmer when times are hard. This drawing was inspired by the calmness and relaxation I feel from foxes, and while drawing.

I found two trees at a place, one was in full bloom and it looked really pretty while, the other was completely dead looking. I was then inspired to draw two trees with one that is full of life, and the other dark. I thought the light bulbs in the back looked pretty, because the place I was at, had a string of light bulbs behind the trees.

When I see a beautiful night sky, it inspires my creativity. I love doing digital art and the stars twinkling in the sky feels magical to me.

I painted this tree because I love to climb tress. Trees are a good place to think and be inspired. I put in cats because they are my favorite animal. This painting makes me feel happy.

My name is Charli and I like to draw. I love the Lion King and baby Simba is so cute. I also love to sing. This drawing makes me feel happy because this movie holds a special place in my heart.

While working on painting an ocean wave, I was inspired by the curl at the tip of the wave. It reminded me of a dragons snout, so I continued painting it until my wave became a complete dragon. Looking at this dragon makes me happy because of how much I love reading about dragons and fantasy.

I drew this artwork as a reminder of both downtown Charleston, SC & downtown Augusta, GA. Downtown Charleston has the cobblestone streets and a candy store by the market I would go to buy candy from with my family. The dress I drew in the window reminds me of an alteration shop in downtown Augusta I once visited and saw a beautiful dress in the window of the store. Both places make me feel nice and sweet because I've had great experiences at those places and loved putting them into my artwork.

I am kind, sweet, and sometimes spicy. What inspired me to do this is that I love pesto pizzas and I drew another one that looked so cute. This picture makes me feel good.

I love painting and making pictures of where we Iive. My class assignment was to paint a desert scene, but I just really love how green it is around my home. Our house faces where the sunsets every day and I am always in awe of how beautiful the sunsets are.

I'm 12 years old and I love playing video games in my free time. My drawing was inspired by one of my favorite video games.

Hi, My name is Max. I created this drawing because I like learning about the sun, the stars, the earth and the moon. I was inspired by the light going from dark to light very quickly one day.

I love creating art in any way I can, in this piece I used oil pastels which give you the ability to blend colors, create depth and even highlights

The first thing I notice when I look at something is its color. I’ve been doing art for about a year. I mostly draw people but also enjoy drawing realistic things from a reference. I taught myself how to use Procreate by watching other artists online. I always listen to music when I draw. While I was drawing this, I was listening to “The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel. The candle makes me feel satisfied at how the light and color blend together to create a realistic image.

What inspired me to make this piece is symbolism. Symbolism has always been a big and inspirational part of my life. It has encouraged me to view the world and scenarios in many different ways, and has even encouraged me to start writing a book which will have a lot of symbolism. I loved making this piece and i hope you feel the same amount of joy as i did making it.

Hi. My name is Alexis and I love riding horses. I've been taking lessons since I was 9 years old and I ride all year round. I participate in horse shows and competitions. Horses are so majestic and beautiful. I feel free when I am riding them. I also love brushing them. I especially love all of their unique personalities. This is a picture of one of the horses I enjoy riding and his name is River.

Lenny is a bright and creative 13-year-old with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a condition that affects his social interactions and emotional regulation. Despite these challenges, Lenny has discovered a special way to express himself through art. This particular piece is of his beloved dog, his close companion and friend. Through this artwork, Lenny not only shares the joy and comfort his little dog brings him but also communicates a part of himself that words cannot fully express.

This piece was inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. It depicts a young Persephone, before she meets the king of the underworld. This is one of my favorite Greek myths, and I even wrote a song about it! I think this is one of my best pieces yet, and hope you like it!

My name is Matea. I am in 5th grade and live in Minnesota. I am a professional actor and I am bilingual. In addition to acting, I love singing and painting. I think cactuses are a delightful part of nature. We don't have any where I live, so when I get to see them in person, I feel cheerful and terrific.

I drew Harry Potter because He is a brave , kind and some times mischievous hero . I also drew him because of the magic in his story and it always leaves you wondering how he is gone save the day.

I am 11 years old and enjoy drawing. This piece was meant to be my. Character picking some fruit from her garden during a sunrise.

This is an acrylic painting of my dog, Rocket. He’s an Australian cattle dog. We adopted him in 2021 when he was eight and a half weeks old. He is kind of grumpy but I love him.

My dog inspired me to make this drawing. She is very cute and fuzzy but I love her personality best. She is very energetic and sweet. I also love watching her sleep. I made the art piece using pencils. The pencils I used were 2B, 4B and 6B. This was the first time I’ve used different pencil grades. Some of the trials I’ve had with this drawing were getting the shapes right and getting the lines straight. But the biggest struggle I had was getting the lines light enough.

What inspires me to make this is The animal grooming truck I saw outside my house. my favorite part was the puppies. The smaller parts represent that they are far away the and the bigger ones represent. They are closer in the picture. my other favorite part was the rainbow with the crown, unicorn horn and puppy ears.

Whiskers and Delicacies is about a cat dreaming of yummy fish. I love cats because they are fluffy and cute, and even though I love dogs more, I started with cats because they are simpler to draw.

I love drawing landscapes. Every time I look at the mountains, it's really beautiful.

I'm Scout a nonbinary kid who like to make art about my books and this piece is one of my character's arcs their name is CREATOR

I’m obsessed with nature. Our family spends half the year doing van life around the country. Mostly visiting beautiful mountains and oceans. This special painting which is 6’ tall was inspired by my hikes through the forests of California. I did a whole series of paintings called “Nature”. The green and blue represent the sky and the orange is for the sunlight. I take art classes 2x week from Ms Jennifer on Outschool and I’m super inspired by the abstract artists I’m learning about in her class

This is a drawing about drawing, because drawing is what inspires me!

Hi! My name is Keegan. I love to read, write, and draw, and I thought that as a artist it would be fun to submit one of my drawings in this contest. The one I chose is a picture of the main character of a book I'm going to write, Dawn, climbing out of an underground city that was not treating her well. I think it is inspiring of her to do that, instead of just staying there. Thank you for reading about my drawing!

I’m Devon and I’m 9 years old. This drawing is about how when we protect even the smallest life, we protect the world. This is a drawing of “Kim the Bee from the top limb of the tree” which is a character from a story my dad made up for my brother and I at bed time. Thank you for reading

My name is Malcolm. I want to be an animator and am inspired by cartoons. I love early 2000's cartoons. I like 2D animation better and love drawing them. I am creating my own animation studio and tv show and this video shows some of my characters beginning to be created and be shown on TV. It is "to be continued" because it is just the beginning, with more to come. I am happy and proud of it because I worked on it for hours. Thanks.

I enjoy creating art that tells a story through color, nature, and imagination. This piece was inspired by a dream of a magical world full of birds, where the rainbow seemed endless and the moon glowed like the sun. A great crane soaring peacefully through the sky made me think of freedom, hope, and beauty. It reminds me to believe in myself, think big, and imagine endless possibilities.

I’m Zion and I called this art piece waves. I named it this because I surf and sometimes waves are like life. Sometimes they can be big and scary and sometimes they’re calm and light. Also making abstract art feels like I can express my emotions more than concrete art.

I am a cat lover and I was inspired by the full moon that was pink this month. My piece makes me feel powerful because the pink moon gives me energy. In my drawing, the pink moon was giving the cat energy, just like me!

I took inspiration from the sea and the creatures inside it. it inspired me to draw a picture of a turtle. My favorite animal. Thank you

I take a lot of insporation from the things I watch and write. This drawing is of one of my characters from a writing group I'm in. The character is a chaotic menace, who is bored all the time.

My name is Vika, and when I grow up, I want to be an artist. I believe art is a great hobby and profession, and it can make people very happy. I drew this penguin as a mascot that can inspire people to do art and be creative and imaginative. Her name is Aurora Boreartist. Art makes her life brighter, and it maker her brighter too, see, she is not just plain black like other penguins. And she wants to show that art make make everyone else's life brighter too.

I love giant pandas! My family and I visited the Panda Sanctuary in Chengdu, China last year. I loved watching them eating bamboos. My art teacher had an Umbrella Project for us to paint whatever we would like, so I painted pandas climbing and playing in bamboo forest because that is their favorite food and home!

Sometimes when I am board I start by drawing a line. And sometimes I am like "oh it could be this!" so this piece was used to represent that with a bunch of lines turning into a bunch of different things.

I am Luca and I painted this because I love animals and I really like polar bears.

I love drawing turtles because they are so interesting. This is a fun angle of a cool species.

My artwork is called “Out in the Danger.” It shows a girl and her dragon standing in front of a volcano that is erupting. They are best friends and they are being brave together even though it’s scary. I love drawing chibi girls and dragons because dragons are my favorite. I think dragons are strong and magical, and I like imagining them as loyal friends. This drawing makes me feel strong and brave. It reminds me that I can face my fears every day and not feel alone.

I go to the Outschool class "The Original Pokemon Drawing Club" every Monday night. In my class, Teacher Billy gave me the instructions to make Scorbunny. He is my favorite Pokemon, and my artwork makes me feel great!

My name is Edie and I drew this during one of my art classes (Mythical Creatures Drawing Club). I have been drawing since I was little and I am very proud of this picture.

I love moods and colors. I wanted to make something beautiful, warm and rich. I hope it makes you feel like time stopped a bit just for you!

my great grandmother was a watercolor artist and she inspired my love for art. I started painting once she passed away.

The picture is of the artist Prince. It is based off of the Parade album cover by Prince and The Revolution.

My name is Annabelle and my favorite kind of art is watercolors. Creating art makes me feel really happy. What inspired me to make this art piece is my love for cats and mermaids.

I am 10 years old and do school at home. I have been painting with watercolors since I was a toddler. I love this painting because the colors are so vibrant and there are lots of special details involved in it.
